Abstract
The virtual microstructures relevant to lithiumdisilicate glass crystallization have been created as an environment to compute the light scattering. The input data in computations include the number density of crystals, refractive indices of involved glassy and crystalline phases, the wavelength of the incident beam radiation, and the virtual sample slab thickness. The computations are performed under a number of simplifying conditions. They treat cases with proposed constant number densities of crystals, assuming their random volume distribution. The shape of the crystals is approximated by spheres. The results are expressed graphically in the form of theoretical optical transmission (OT) patterns, as they evolve on the crystal size axis. They reveal an influence of input data on computed OT. As evident from computations, some sets of input data will favor the real OT method's detection limits. The opposed sets of data will aid following the crystallization to the higher sample crystallinity degree α.
